Prologue

Darkness engulfed him. He was within a void. He observed his surroundings only to see an infinite darkness. He heard a sound behind and quickly looked back. He saw the figure of his grandfather off in the distance. He ran towards him but he would only advance at the meager pace of walking. As the figure of his grandfather became clearer, he began to distinguish his grandfather's features, a shadow appeared behind his grandfather. The shadow wielded a lightsaber. It ignited it as the snap- hiss of its ignition broke the silence of the void yet his screams at the sight could still not be heard. The hum of the blade continued as the shadow raised the blade over his head in a double-handed grip. The red glow of the weapon illuminated the darkness within the void. It slashed downward as the red blade cut through his grandfather. The figure of his grandfather fell lifeless and severed. His grandson's screams were not heard.
Cumulus Gato awoke with cold sweat covering his face and his breath heavy. This nightmare haunted him almost every night. He could no longer rest.
